View Larger Mapon thanksgiving day we arrived on ko phagan and met up w/ kevin and marian on had salad, a beach on the northwest corner of the island. the monsoon season took an extra few weeks this year and kept us waiting for the sun and the water level at the beaches was also significantly higher than normal. we moved on to thong nai pan beach on the east side. half the guesthouses and bars on the beach were closed cause it was so early in the season, and there was tons of trash washing up on shore. the first few days of beach life on ko phangan were decidedly un-beachy... except for the constant stream of bob marley and jack johnson in every restaurant (kim, you'll be in heaven here).
we made another beach switch down to had rin and the weather turned... it was gorgeous for 4 solid days. this is where
morton almost caught fire.
we had been eating extremely delicious thai food for our entire trip up until ko phangan. in most towns, the street cart pad thai for less than a buck is usually the most tasty thing you can possibly have. its like getting a burger from in n out or 5 guys... simple and devastatingly delicious. we had good luck on food until ko phangan, where we got food poisoning from a crappy restaurant. fortunately for us, the islands cater to honkys with weak stomachs.
